Busy busy busy
Seems all we do these days is work and then more work and then more work on top of that. Some of the work is by our choice and that's ok. We just finished painting one of the walls in the living room. I had to put in new molding and yes, I cut my miters properly. :-P~~~~
Next on our list is the kitchen wall. I hope it goes smoothly. The biggest project that we're going to try to tackly this year is the living room wall that had that God-aweful wallpaper on it. The paper is mostly down but we're taking care of some of the smaller projects before tackling that wall.
In other news, we went camping up in Whatcom County at a small park called Silver Lake. We had a nice relaxing time up there. Nannette has some pics posted somewhere. Next camping trip will be to who knows where and who knows when. Seems we have lots of busy weekends this summer. Birthday parties, visiting family, unfinished house projects that can only get done on weekends, etc.
We had a really nice 4th of July this year. We went to see the local baseball team, the Kitsap Bluejackets, beat up on the Moses Lake Pirates. We were treated to a really nice fireworks show and a local rock band after the game. There wasn't a huge crowd and traffic was almost non-existant getting out of the ballfield area. We were under an almost constant barrage of fireworks displays the whole drive home from the game. It was nice. In our neighborhood, the local residents were busy setting fire to what had to be thousands of dollars worth of locally purchased fireworks until about 12:30 am. Since the next day was a work day, the evenings activities did not go on until the wee hours of the morning.
So, with that, I'm signing off for the evening. Nannette just made some decaf coffee and we have small cupcakes (or as Sarah sometimes mispronounces "pupcakes").
Until later...
